SS Dash
I keep leaning toward getting an SS dash so it would clean up all the aftermarket gauges we have. Problem is the damn things are so expensive..

I went with Big Tony's replacement dash for $359. Price seemed reasonable to me based on what's going on to make it. I'm only replacing an old SS dash so I don't need to mess with the wire harness.

See thats the problem. I would be making the move from a sweep dash putting the total cost of the conversion close to 2 grand.

You could do something custom... Here's mine.
That wasn't cheap either, but it was far less than 2 grand.

It's hard to do something custom with a 70-72 sweep dash. You do see SS dash's on craigslist now and then. Even if you had to replace parts of it, it would be cheaper than buying everything new.

I have a 72 ss el camino and a 72 malibu convertible so I have one of each dashes, but I like the sweep dash the best. It is easier to see in dark conditions with the sweep dash

I have been seriously considering one of these. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CT...0111/?rtype=10

I also considered a digital dash conversion like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DAKOT...Q5fAccessories but for the sweep dash. The wife did not really care for it.

Derek, since we have a sweep dash it would require building a flat panel to mount all the new gauges. Its probably easier and may look nice if we went with the covan insert.
